To the contrary, on a party level the democrats seem to be failing to capture any radical energy at all. They’re broadly playing to the center, and alienating progressives in the process, whereas the right is very effectively turning the radicalization pipeline straight into support for the Republicans. Unless you mean to imply the Democrats’ goal is to radicalize people away from their own platform.

I think you’re mixing multiple endings. Far Cry 4-6 all have quick endings like that but none of them I know of fit your description?

This is a myth; the term “bug” for mistake predates the famous moth incident.

Wanting to own billions isn’t necessarily evil. I’d say it’s actually pretty common to want to be a billionaire in our society; the desire to gain wealth is core to capitalism. They may not understand the consequences of it or be able to conceptualize of the people they’d hurt.

Hypothetically, if we treated it as an illness (or rather a symptom) we could shift societal norms and rehabilitate people who express signs of trying to hoard wealth.

Why would you not want to mute fast? I feel like muting fast is even better than blocking fast.

Tbf it’s a comedy show, it being informative is mostly an accident. This one is rare for being factual and not about why we should nuke the moon or which cartoon characters are invited to the cookout or something like that.

“Just got to this” doesn’t really seem like a lie to me. If they said “just read this”, that would be a lie, but “just got to this” implies they didn’t have time to reply/think about it, without commenting on whether they read it. Honestly to me “just got to this” implies it’s been on their to-do list but they didn’t get around to it until now. If they hadn’t read it at all saying “just got this” or “just read this” would make more sense.

I don’t see how? Normal HTTP/TLS validation would still apply so you’d need port forwarding. You can’t host anything on the CGNAT IP so you can’t pass validation and they won’t issue you a cert.

I think this is less a problem of “nefarious bad actors” and more a problem of expectations. Honestly, I agree with the quoted comment: I think they should be visible all the time, like they already are on Mbin. I think it would help change the way people think about votes so that they don’t expect Reddit-style anonymous votes and instead it’s a more public Facebook/Twitter-style like system.

If you really want private votes, Piefed has feature that lets you anonymize your votes, but a determined bad actor could still deanonymize you. I think it’s better to change expectations than to try to massage a fundamentally public platform into having private votes, but it’s good there’s an option for people since it’s so highly requested.

I agree that chaotic characters would be more inclined to break laws. But I suppose to circle back, I don’t see why that makes them any less Good.

Even your description of “law is an impediment to justice” sounds like a CG character would just do whatever they want without letting laws stop them, while NG might be more likely to consider whether or not to follow the law in any given circumstance and perhaps adjust their plan to be slightly more lawful, while CG might not respect the rule of law at all and just break into the prison and free the slaves or whatever.

Neutral Good (NG). Neutral Good creatures do the best they can, working within rules but not feeling bound by them. A kindly person who helps others according to their needs is probably Neutral Good.

Chaotic Good (CG). Chaotic Good creatures act as their conscience directs with little regard for what others expect. A rebel who waylays a cruel baron’s tax collectors and uses the stolen money to help the poor is probably Chaotic Good.

Side note: I agree that law and freedom aren’t necessarily in opposition as pure concepts. But part of my argument is that CG characters wouldn’t innately hate objectively good laws like “don’t keep slaves”. The laws they’d take issue with are ones that limit freedom, like “don’t steal”. Most probably wouldn’t be ideologues campaigning for the destruction of the government but they might just steal to fund their Good.

Maybe I’m confused what you mean. Being opposed to the concept of laws doesn’t mean you need to break them; you can still think “people shouldn’t murder” or “slavery is bad”. I don’t think incidentally following laws makes you not Chaotic. You just don’t care what the law is; you’d be doing the same thing regardless of whether it was the law or not.

Besides, I’m not sure “opposed to the concept of laws” is really true for all but the most extreme examples of CG. It seems like its more about wanting freedom than just hating laws themselves.

The chaotic good alignment isn’t any less good because they can simply follow the just laws and break the unjust laws. They might resent the institution of law, but they aren’t obliged to do the opposite of the law, they just will do it for their own reasons instead of the legality. They’re still fundamentally good.

A lawful good character would probably prefer legal methods to fight legal injustice, while a chaotic good character might prefer to break the law as they don’t see legal methods as worth anything/don’t recognize its authority. Both are Good, but they might use different methods when confronted with the same problem.

as long as it’s about a month per area

Seems pretty arbitrary. Why confine Pride events to a single month?

That’s configurable since Git 2.28. You can change init.defaultBranch to main or trunk or whatever you want.

You would think…

This is interesting! I’ve been exploring this and it seems like a neat little license.

I’m not a lawyer, but one funny edge case I noticed is that the Extractive Industries module seems like it makes it a breach of license for crystal shops to use your software since you’re involved in the sale of minerals.

I would tend to agree with FSF that it’s not FOSS, though. There are so many restrictions on this license and who can use it, based on fairly arbitrary things like “if CBP claims you’re doing forced labor” or “you do business in this specific region”. It might be more moral, but it’s a different approach than FOSS, which is less restrictive than more and prioritizes “Freedom” above everything else. Maybe it’s time for a different approach, though?

CGNAT is for IPv4, the IPv6 network is separate. But if you have IPv6 connectivity on both ends setting up WG is the same as with IPv4.

Yeah, I can see that. It’s definitely more like a search index than a web crawler. It’s not great at being a search index though, since it can synthesize ideas but can’t reliably tell you where it got them from in the first place.

Calling it a web crawler is just innacurate. You can give it access to a web search engine, which is how the “AI search engines” work, but LLMs can’t access the internet on their own. They’re completely self-contained unless you give them tools that let them do other things.
